Our Sustainability Initiatives
Promoting a Circular Economy Through Innovation
At Hudson Associates, our approach goes beyond merely complying with standards—we are dedicated to pioneering sustainable practices. This involves continually seeking innovative materials and processes that improve our environmental impact and promote responsible sourcing. Together, we strive to create a more sustainable future, one package at a time. We also offer our customers guidance on the latest PCR legislation to help them remain in compliance with changing regulations.
Prioritizing Recyclability
We prioritize the recyclability of our products, ensuring that each item we produce, from plastic bottles to caps and closures, is fully recyclable. This initiative aligns with the growing consumer demand for eco-friendly packaging options.
Use of PCR & Ocean Bound Plastics
Hudson Associates offers Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP), a specific type of PCR created from plastic collected within 30 miles of the world’s coastlines which helps divert potential ocean waste and contribute to a healthier marine ecosystem. We also provide standard PCR in various percentages depending on customer requirement.
Embracing Local Production
We focus on local production to minimize our carbon footprint. Through our focus on regional sourcing and manufacturing, we reduce transportation emissions, support local economies, and ensure faster delivery to our clients.
Driving Sustainability with Recycled Plastics
At Hudson Associates, our commitment to sustainability is integral to our operations which is why we actively use Post-Consumer Resin (PCR) in our products.
PCR, the technical term for recycled consumer plastics such as milk jugs or water bottles, helps to promote a circular economy by reducing waste and extending the life cycle of existing plastics. Increased use of PCR also reduces reliance on virgin resin and minimizes a package’s overall carbon footprint.
Innovation Spotlight
Unique Tamper Proof Technology
In the beverage industry, packaging plays a crucial role not only in branding and aesthetics but also in ensuring product integrity and security. One of the standout innovations in this arena is the Roll-On Pilfer Proof (ROPP) neck finish applied to beverage bottles.
This technology not only enhances product security but also optimizes packaging efficiency, a significant advancement over traditional sealing methods. At Hudson Associates, we offer 750 ml and 1 liter glass beverage bottles with ROPP neck finishes.
The Roll-On Pilfer Proof Neck
Tamper-Evident Design:
ROPP (Roll-On Pilfer Proof) neck finishes ensure security and product integrity. Once the cap is applied, it cannot be removed without leaving visible signs of tampering.
Durability:
ROPP caps are designed to withstand various environmental factors, including temperature changes and transportation stresses, without compromising the seal or the safety of the product.
Versatile Application:
Suitable for a wide range of beverages, from water to wine to highly volatile spirits. The integrity of the seal also helps maintain the fizziness of carbonated drinks.
